The
Battlefield Website (thanks
Planet
Battlefield and Ant) has word that EA/DICE is aware of disconnect issues
with the newly released Battlefield 2142 demo, and is searching for solutions.
They also mention that the demo was such a svelte 1106 MB download due to the
exclusion of 33 MB worth of DirectX installers, so a DX installation is necessary for
anyone who doesn't have it yet. Here's word on the disconnects:

We are
aware that some players are experiencing disconnects while playing the Demo.
Please know we are running checks and making enhancements to our support systems
so that these disconnects can be solved as quickly as possible.
